Shows that feel likeSuperman & Lois (2021–2024)
If you loved Superman & Lois, the closest series we have are New Amsterdam (2018), 3 Body Problem (2024) and Tracker (2024). All three share Superman & Lois' contemplative and hopeful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Eureka (2006).
If Superman & Lois hit the spot, these will too

A good man trying to fix a system while his family pays the cost
The difference: A hospital, and no powers involved

A threat too large for any one person, met by people anyway
The difference: Hard sci-fi and dread, with no hope built in

One thread runs through both: inspirational
The difference: Easier on the ideas than Superman & Lois

A family drama where dinner matters as much as the job
The difference: Police procedural, no capes, more sermon

The same character, the same farm, the same weight of expectation
The difference: Twenty years earlier, teenage and monster of the week

Family bonds tested by a burden one man insists on carrying alone
The difference: No heroes here — a bleak crime epic where the fallout keeps spreading

A Kryptonian holding a public role and a private life together
The difference: A workplace ensemble in the city, with far less domestic focus

The same universe, and heroes who are people first
The difference: Deliberately silly, with no family at the centre

Parenthood as the real heroism — protecting a child against long odds
The difference: Grounded single-season hardship — no powers softening the blows

Both land stillness and ideas at once
The difference: Sits closer to comedy than Superman & Lois does

Powers treated as damage, and people trying to be decent about it
The difference: Absurd, filthy and surreal — sincerity is not what it is after

Parents discovering their children carry something dangerous
The difference: Persecution and flight, no small-town warmth
